Yeah that’s one thing I never do is use the usb port on the tv to power things’ i was even thinking of getting them led strips that go around the back of the tv but then I thought what’s the point just drawing more power from it even though it’s only 5V.

Definitely snappier. I have to agree. Quicker zapping I find too
What should I buy ? So I can use safely I only have these types of plugs
One I'm using outputs 5.0v at 2 amps 10w

Definitely I’d say it is’ be even better with a custom launcher installed the likes of Projectivity’ shame latest kodi is only displaying 1080p resolution when my device is set to 4K 🤔

It maybe ok but not sure if it will regulate the power supply correctly as I have always used a Power supply and not chargers.
You will struggle to find one with usb c adapter and three pin UK plug. I had to buy a power supply adapter that came with a an adapter to convert to usb c.
Your cheapest option would be this then get an uk adapter plug.

@userlee5267 This would work also but more expensive than my previous suggestion.

If it work without any issues and you happy with it.
Most chargers are not dual function like laptop power supplies.

Will a old firestick power supply work. The cable supplied is usb to usb c.

Yeah should be fine as they are 5v 2a so the device should just draw the 1a that it needs and the voltage is the same. You are sorted.

Stremio works fine installed the android tv version from their downloads page

Not sure how well it would do Streaming large files with a high bitrate. That is something I need from a device. But by the sounds of it for iptv it may suit many.
True tv android should be in Google play. I am begining to wonder myself now if thete are proper Google certified devices. Only ever used sheild most apps are in there.
